H-1B Dismissed — Education (2006): the beneficiary had already remained in the United States

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the beneficiary had already remained in the United States in H-1B status for over six years. Pursuant to Section 214(g)(4) of the Act, the maximum period of authorized admission for an H-1B nonimmigrant is six years, and the beneficiary was therefore not entitled to an extension of stay.
